X^(2)+8x+7

Question

`x^(2)`+8x+7

Answer 1

Your answer would be (x+1) (x+7).

Answer 2

(x + 1)(x + 7)

Explanation:

Assuming you require the expression factored

x² + 8x + 7

Consider the factors of the constant term (+ 7) which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term (+ 8)

The factors are + 1 and + 7 , since

1 × 7 = 7 and 1 + 7 = 8 , then

x² + 8x + 7 = (x + 1)(x + 7) ← in factored form
